Spying on teens: Yes or no?

I think I mentioned that my daughter’s relationship status has changed on Facebook. And, she conveniently included a name for the guy, which links to his Facebook page.

So I took the name and asked my brother-in-law, who teaches at her high school (how lucky am I?), if he knew him. And, if not, if he could get to know him.

I want to know who he hangs out with, whether he’s a good student or not — you know, whether I need to be worried. And, while my daughter would likely answer all these questions for me, too, I’m not sure how much of the truth she’d share.
